Bloove.Com - Quite Possible World's Coolest Mobile Agent

Bloove is a cool new free mobile backup and content management system. What makes it especially handy is the fact that it requires no hardware whatsoever – no cables, no Bluetooth, no IR ports, etc. The system is entirely is web based. Here is how it works.

First, you create online account. Then you download Bloove agent. Now you are able to manage contents of your mobile phones (contacts, SMS, settings, bookmarks) and save them online. This is also where you can edit things, because this is obviously more convenient than performing the same task with the phone itself.

Should anything happen to your phone (suppose, you lost it, when traveling abroad), you can get a new phone, go online via GPRS, 3G, Wi-Fi, etc, log into your account and have access to all that data. If needed, you simply synchronize or restore data to your mobile. This is MUCH more flexible than the usual ‘back it up onto your PC’ approach.

The only downside is that Bloove is free for one account/one phone only. If you want to have multiple phones linked to one account – that’s gonna cost you $60 a year.
